Our Verdict
A strong prospect for those looking for a low-mileage SUV with recent history. While it has experienced early MOT failures, the vehicle has consistently passed its most recent tests without defects.
When inspecting this specific Grandland X, the priority is confirming the low mileage. Given it has covered under 20,000 miles since 2020, you must verify that a full service history is present to ensure annual oil changes were performed, as low mileage can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance intervals. Check the records for any work done following the September 2024 MOT failure to see what was rectified.
Pay close attention to the infotainment system and 'Sri Nav' trim features, as these are key selling points for this specification level. Since the car is a blue metallic, inspect the paintwork for stone chips on the bonnet, which are common on this Vauxhall model but can be exacerbated if the car has been used primarily on motorways.
The 1199cc petrol engine is designed for cost-effectiveness, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and lower tax band. You can expect respectable fuel economy around 45-50 mpg depending on driving conditions, making it an economical daily commuter.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for a Vauxhall, though owners should budget for specialized turbo inspections. Estimated annual costs including fuel, tax, and basic servicing would likely fall between £1,200 and £1,500.
The MOT history shows a failure at 11,999 miles and another at 15,962 miles. While the specific defect reasons are not listed in the summary provided, you should ask the seller if these were light bulbs, wipers, or minor mechanical adjustments, as the car passed immediately afterward. Ensure no recurring mechanical issues have appeared in the full service records.
Inspect the 1.2 PureTech engine for any signs of oil consumption, which is a known area to monitor for this engine family if not maintained correctly. Check the tyres for even wear, as low-mileage cars that sit for long periods can sometimes experience uneven degradation despite the tread being deep.
This 2020 Vauxhall Grandland X Sri Nav Turbo has covered just 19,150 miles, which is significantly below the national average for a six-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows two failures early in its life, but the most recent test in October 2025 recorded no defects whatsoever. The 1.2L petrol turbo engine suggests a focus on efficiency and lower tax brackets for urban-to-medium distance driving.
The Grandland X is generally considered a reliable platform, though the 1.2 turbo engine requires strict adherence to service schedules for longevity.
